Habitat:
It occurs in humid forest edge, second growth, bushy partially open pastures and ravines at 2,500-3,600 m, but usually above 2,900 m (Hilty and Brown 1986, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990). It readily accepts man-made habitats like pastures and gardens, and is seldom found in forest interior (Heynen and Boesman 2020). However, although tolerant of habitat degradation, it apparently prefers borders of montane forest and low scrub at the timberline.
Range:
Eriocnemis derbyi occurs in the Central Andes of Colombia from Antioquia south to Pichincha in northern Ecuador.
